And breathe. Yea, it happens to everyone. Companies like South Florida Brokers LLC seem to pop up and get everyone sooner or later.
If you’ve fallen victim to a double broker scam — where a fraudulent middleman takes your load, re-brokers it under another carrier’s name, and then disappears without paying — Bill Ivey can help you recover what’s owed and prevent future losses.
Bill has extensive experience in freight collections and investigating double broker scams, like South Florida Brokers LLC. When a carrier moves a load for what appears to be a legitimate broker, only to later find out that it was double-brokered through a fraudulent company, it can seem like the money is gone for good. However, Bill specializes in tracing these transactions, identifying the real responsible parties, and pursuing payment through proper channels — including the broker’s bond, insurance filings, or direct recovery from the debtor.
Working with Bill means having someone who knows the freight industry inside and out. He understands how these scams operate, the documentation you’ll need, and the deadlines for bond or legal claims. Many carriers who contact him after being scammed by fraudulent brokers report that he’s helped them get paid or at least recover part of their losses.
If your load was moved under a fake brokerage name, or if your rate confirmation came from a company later exposed as a double broker, don’t wait for the situation to resolve itself — time matters. Bill can help verify the MC number, confirm whether the entity has an active bond, and communicate with the surety company or shipper on your behalf.
Carriers who have been scammed often feel helpless, but you’re not alone. Call Bill at 901-300-7460 for direct assistance. He can walk you through your next steps, check whether the broker is already listed on fraud watch databases, and help ensure that your claim gets in front of the right people quickly.
